The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles wants new license plates that are easier for toll booth cameras and red light cameras to read.

But the agency withdrew its request for approval by the Florida Cabinet Tuesday.

The DMV is tweaking the plan in part because of concerns by county tax collectors that private companies will be hired to issue the new plates.

Leon County Tax Collector Doris Maloy says collectors are not against the redesign; they just don’t trust private companies to distribute the plates with the same level of customer service currently provided by the state.

“If the department wants to change Florida’s plate design and reissue 15 million new plates over the next two years, tax collectors are prepared to do so,” Maloy says.
